Who did it or why did it happen? A deleted scene from SHE BELONGS TO ME:


If you haven’t read, She Belongs to Me, readers who adore J.D. Robb/Nora Roberts, Iris Johansen, and Nicholas Sparks have loved it. In fact, She Belongs to Me has been neighbors with all these great authors on Amazon’s ‘paid’ bestsellers in romantic-suspense and has 40+ reviews averaging 5-stars.
Below is a brief summary of this romance/mystery and a deleted scene—an archived email that the protagonist, Jaynee, was writing before her…er…um…incident.

Brief description of She Belongs to Me:
After secrets and a mysterious background leave a wife’s life hanging by a thread, a husband must look for answers in the only place he knows—the past.
When wealthy construction company owner and Charlotte detective, Jordan Monroe, meets Jaynee for the first time he is awestruck and determines to make her his wife. Jaynee, however, has a history she cannot easily overcome and is fearful to submit to love. Jordan succeeds in making her his wife, but five years into their marriage, he realizes she is keeping secrets.  Before he can decipher her duplicity, he discovers her unconscious in their home from a gunshot wound only hours after giving her an ultimatum concerning their relationship.
With Jaynee’s life hanging in the balance, the mystery of her past drives Jordan to investigate. But what appears to be an attempted suicide turns out to be something far darker. Is someone from her past stalking her? Or worse, is someone close to Jordan trying to kill them both? As Jordan edges closer to the truth, it may be deadlier than he could ever have imagined.
Deleted Scene:
The night of the shooting, Jaynee typed an email to her best friend; unfortunately, as the vehicle pulled up in front of the house, Jaynee deleted it, or at least she thought she did.

My dear friend Rainey,
I really should have called, but I know how crazy busy you are, so I didn’t want to disturb you. I promise to call soon, but right now, I just have to tell you what’s happened in the last few days, as I know you are the only one who knows everything about my past and will understand.
First of all, as we discussed before, that “Big Thing” I told you I might do…well, it might just happen. I’ve been on the phone every day, working through the specifics, so I’ll let you know.
And guess who showed up… Yep, you guessed right. I’m not sure what to do. There’s no telling what Jordan will do if he finds out.
Oh, someone’s pulling up; I’ll talk to you later.
Love ya,
Jaynee

So as you read in the mini synopsis, Jaynee ends up with a gunshot wound to the head. The question is why or who?
To find the answer, all you have to do is download the book, and the great news is She Belongs to Me is only .99 cents through Christmas.

To prologue or not to prologue, that is the question. Readers, please weigh in!

Personally, I love prologues. They get you right into the action whether it was in the past or something exciting that is to come. But that’s exactly why most agents’ blogs I’ve read say not to use them. Paraphrasing…“If you need a prologue, then your story must not be strong enough…” Hmm … well, I like them, and I use them. But I’m curious what readers think, and I’d love you to weigh in. AND, if you have some great examples, please leave the title in the comment section. Now … here’s what I’ve noticed. Plenty of bestselling books have used them, even though they aren’t always called prologues . Same diff in my opinion. My biggest example is ‘Twilight’. If that little blurb wasn’t in the beginning, I don’t think I would have made it through the first chapter. How about movies? I don’t watch a lot. But I’ve started to notice how many have “prologues”. I also don’t have cable, but I have NetFlix, and hubby has just started watching ‘Breaking Bad’. Okay … I...

The rule of thirds: No matter what you do, someone will hate you. Get over it and Write On!

No matter what you do in life, a third of the people will love you, a third will hate you, and the rest will be indifferent. Get over it and Write On! Yes, I'm talking to myself. If you're listening, GREAT! It's good advice! Is it easy advice? Heck No! For some reason, even though that percentage is rather low on my books--the percentage of people who hate my books runs about 4.6%--it still hurts.  Note: I only averaged the 'firsts' in my books, the books I actively promote. Because if I go to the second, third, and fourth books in my series, those numbers drop drastically. Obviously, if readers don't like my first book, they don't go on to the rest of my books in a series, so those books receive little to zero one-star reviews. So...if the number of one-star reviews we receive is less than five percent--Thank God ALL of the 33 1/3% of the haters don't write reviews--why do we get so depressed when we receive a one-star review...
